We recently moved house, away from the forests I’d grown to really love over many years, and I was a bit bummed out, concerned the riding in the new place wouldn’t compare. As it turns out - relief - there is a LOT of great riding, a very strong MTB community, and lots of forest and hills nearby. A different kind of forest - much harsher and drier but still good fun.
So it’s kinda fun to put down some new uni roots here and making the movie helped!
I reckon the GoPro has come of age with the HD version. They fixed the two things that were very crappy about the camera and limited its use - the resolution and the power source. The LCD menu is still crap but you can put up with that.
If you don’t already it’s worth keeping an eye on GoProCamera on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/goprocamera - there is so much great POV video posted there of all sorts of adventure activities.
I’ve got a little review of the GoPro HD just about finished for my blog, maybe a day or two before it’s done, but that’s the bottom line - they’re cool, get one!
haha you got an awesome face man! I liked the vid a lot, scrotum angle was hilarious. would have liked more of distance shots, I always was like “up, up with the camera!” get what I wanna say?
@4umfreak: cool! I’d become too obsessed with the GUni, back in love with offroading on the 36’er now!
@concierge: thanks dude, world needs more scrotum angles
hear ya about distance shots. I meant to take more but didn’t get around to it, so made it an in your face kinda thing. doing a re-edit though just to see what it turns out like. one day would love to have a regular HD camera to go with the GoPro.
